Notes from Wikiquote

However, this is most likely false, as variants of this quote in German first surfaced in 1946 without being attributed to Churchill. It wasn't until 1980 that the quote was attributed to Churchill in German for the first time. | In German: »Ich glaube nur der Statistik, die ich selbst gefälscht habe«
